In ecommerce, glitz and glam matter – a lot. In fact, brands that focus on the look & feel of their sites or who bring to market a whole new business model often grace the headlines of The New York Times, Fast Company and Forbes.

What gets overlooked, however, is technical innovation. After all, it’s a harder pitch.

How can you sell something to a reporter that you can’t really see? Something that isn’t necessarily visible to the consumer’s eye?

BigCommerce’s entire platform is built on this notion: that extensibility in the form of APIs, SDKs and open architecture is the real meat and potatoes for online brands.

That’s because the pace of change has never been faster, and business agility is now the single biggest competitive differentiator in retail.

This is why every year, BigCommerce hosts our Innovation Awards, a call to those ecommerce brands out there who have used extensibility, agility and technical innovation to save their employees time, reduce manual errors and grow business revenue.

And this year, we present to you our 3rd Annual Innovation Awards. You can find the winners here, and below, the details of 15 finalists, broken into 4 categories of achievement.

Best Technical Ecommerce Innovations

Technical innovation are the ones you experience as a consumer and can’t imagine shopping with that brand without it.

These year’s most innovative ecommerce brands have,

Built the next generation of streaming TV, i.e. less ads and more shopping, built-in.

Solved for multi-location shipping complexity to give back to veterans who gave all they had.

Used WebDev to custom code unique FAQs for all product pages on a complex product purchasing journey.

Inspiration Behind the Innovation

After months of extensive beta testing, ALECIA, the first shoppable streaming service officially transitioned from operating as an Invite Only platform to a subscription-free, video on-demand, shoppable network.

To deliver on the shoppable network promise, ALECIA needed to successfully combine the ease of video streaming while layering in the appeal of shoppable content. The ability to do this –– create shopping experiences within on-demand video experience –– would create a network that would rival the current streaming blueprint, and forever redefine the way consumers shop from their smartphones, tablets, and computers.

Finding the perfect solution was a 16-month process that included over 200,000 beta testers who were invited to test the platform and offer feedback regarding programming in combination with the shopping experience.

Business Impact of the Innovation

There have been so many moments that we’ve internally celebrated. Week over week, new media outlets pick up the news. We’ve been called The Netflix of Shopping by WWD, and have made headway on our streaming and shopping platform becoming known as the “new normal” among video experiences.

Editor’s Note

ALECIA expects to make money not on ads, but the ability to purchase product while streaming content.

To push that initiative forward, ALECIA announced a deal with Warner Bros. for exclusive on-demand streaming of the first three seasons of ABC’s Bachelor in Paradise. Season five concluded last month on ABC.

Little Women, Big Cars was also acquired in a deal with Kew Media Distribution announced Tuesday that also brings Crawford, a CBC comedy series about a dysfunctional family starring Jill Hennessy, to ALECIA.

Technical Innovation Implementation

BigCommerce’s headless commerce initiative allowed us to decouple the front-end shopping experience, plug it in to our video streaming platform and then push folks to checkout in a seamless experience – all while PCI compliance and the more technical and security challenges of checkout were handled by the BigCommerce platform.

Beyond that, BigCommerce served as a resource of knowledge for the ALECIA team.

Leadership spent a great deal of time reading articles and highlights BigCommerce choose to share with its audience through the blog and internal team members.

We then used the insights and data being shared to help us navigate and create a successful marketing and PR strategy to gain brand notoriety.

Inspiration Behind the Innovation

Wreaths Across America allows people to donate wreaths to fallen U.S. veterans which are then placed on graves at thousands of cemeteries across the United States.

WAA had four main ecommerce challenges:

How to track users visiting thousands of landing pages specific to cemetery locations across the country that funnel into one ecommerce website to donate wreaths to a specific cemetery location.

How to create very unique products with a variety of product options, and custom information that the visitor can enter.

How to detect whether a shopping cart has items that need to be shipped to multiple addresses or not and then send them to the appropriate checkout.

How to send the order data back to a central system with all appropriate order info as well as the cemetery location.

Business Impact of the Innovation

We launched the site in October 2017 leading up to Wreaths Across America’s big day on December 16, 2017.

The new BigCommerce website saw a 34% conversion during these 2 months leading up to the event day. This is not a YOY comparison, but the actual conversion rate of the ecommerce site from Oct 29, 2017 – December 16, 2017.

Also:

45,000 veterans were remembered and honored via the BigCommerce implementation.

Over 1,000 cemeteries received additional orders from the BigCommerce site.

Technical Innovation Implementation

BigCommerce’s extensive API, advanced product options, and multiple checkout options (multiple shipping locations and one-page checkout) allowed us to build an ecommerce site that solved all of Wreaths Across America’s challenges.

We used the API to send over a location ID when the visitor clicked from a specific cemetery location page to the ecommerce site. This location ID follows the visitor throughout the purchase and then sends the ID along with all order data back to the main inventory system.

We used the advanced product options to build out unique “Sponsor a Wreath” products where customers can enter a soldier’s information and even send a card to the soldier’s friend or loved one.

BigCommerce’s support of a variety of product options allowed us to build all of these fields. We then used javascript to group the fields and then show or hide them when other options are selected.

Once items are added to the cart, BigCommerce’s handlebars allowed us to see if there is more than one item that needs to be shipped out. If so, we give the customer the option to send to multiple shipping addresses and send them to the multi-step checkout. Otherwise, we just display the checkout button and send the customer to the one-page checkout.

Inspiration Behind the Innovation

BrickHouse Security’s products need extensive product description detail for consumers as well as to rank for SEO. We needed full-HTML per-product FAQs with the potential to handle multiple complex layouts.

The requirements were simple, but seemed insurmountable for every partner we talked to. Here was what we needed:

Something great for SEO. The crawlers must think it’s just part of the page.

Straightforward to edit and manage for our internal teams.

Allows sophisticated HTML formatting, if needed.

Cannot be several custom fields chained together.

Cannot piggyback the bottom-half of an existing BigCommerce field.

Content is housed in BigCommerce.

Didn’t want to have to pay to subscribe to a third-party tool.

The solution was dead-simple and obvious-in-retrospect. The best innovations always are.

Business Impact of the Innovation

Our products are more complex than the average online purchase, so this content was needed to boost customer education, and thus conversion. Having a content solution like this is empowering to both the marketing and support teams.

Also, BrickHouse lives and dies by SEO, and this content had to be on the page properly for the bots.

We are beginning to leverage this webDAV injection solution elsewhere on our site, where blocks of content are needed over and above the provided WYSIWYG areas, sometimes with one-off layout complexities that the WYSIWYGs can’t handle.

This solutions is scalable, and allows us to run a BigCommerce site with powerful amounts of content.

Technical Innovation Implementation

I used javascript that loads an HTML file from a neatly-organized folder on the WebDAV. The solution is straightforward, old-fashioned, and quietly powerful.

In the Stencil theme, we simply print this code where we need the block:

BigCommerce is easy to use, but also offers a wide-open play field at the enterprise level. The WebDAV is a lifesaving high-end feature that doesn’t get enough attention.

Most Innovative B2C Use Case

The segment to which you sell your products comes with its own unique set of challenges. In the B2C space, winning customer mindshare is the name of the game before you can even try to get them to convert.

And with thousands of online brands –– more every day! –– launching to try and steal away your customer’s time, how you win loyalty, and how you solve for complex challenges without ever burdening the customer makes all the difference.

This year’s most innovative B2C use cases include brands that:

Leveraged their partner network to drive more traffic and more sales.

Reduced customer shopping confusion and support wait time with on-site search functionality that saves consumers and employees precious time.

Inspiration Behind the Innovation

We built a custom commission structure to pay salons in our network a commission on every order we get through the website that comes from their specific URL and codes.

This helps us to bypass competitors through direct traffic and professional word of mouth recommendations from stylists around the globe.

Business Impact of the Innovation

Using this model, we sold more than $2,000,000 in product in 2 years on our site through direct salon relationships.

Technical Innovation Implementation

BigCommerce’s built-in coupon codes and open architecture allowed us to use baseline functionality to get the program started, and then scale it by building in a custom 3rd party app to better track, measure and manage the commission and salon program.

Inspiration Behind the Innovation

We had been trying to find the best ways to get our customers the information they needed as effortlessly as possible. We decided we wanted to have a product finder tool where the customers could input their model number for their HVAC system and it would bring up the list of parts they could use.

Our previous website host could not give us the tools we needed to make this product work. We were being completely inundated with phone calls and customers messaging us on our live chat feature on our website.

Sometimes we would have customers waiting on hold for 5-10 minutes before someone would even acknowledge them. Some of the customers would become so irritated that they would go to one of our competitors before we would even have a chance to help them.

Business Impact of the Innovation

Switching to BigCommerce has made a big difference.

Our bounce rate has lowered by 40%.

Our customer are able to find the parts they are needing with less confusion which has increased sales.

This one new feature created such a positive change in our efficiency and effectiveness in filling orders. Customers can access their heating and cooling system information at a click and pressing of a few buttons.

This has reduced our inbound phone calls dramatically!

This leaves us to help customers with the real issues, and also provides us the extra time to get all of our shipments out in a timely manner.

This has resulted in our business having tremendous success since we have begun our journey with BigCommerce, and we look forward to seeing what the future has in store for this partnership moving forward.

Technical Innovation Implementation

Now that we are with BigCommerce and the help of Arizon Digital, we created a model number search tool. When a customer enters their model number, it brings up all of the parts that exist for that model.

This has cut the amount of customer calls because they are able to find their parts much quicker and with less confusion.

This was truly a big undertaking, as these parts are never permanently set, and they must always be monitored.

However, we worked with BigCommerce to fine tune exactly what we were looking for in our product finder and they built it for us.

BigCommerce used our suggestions and built us a tool that was exactly what our customers needed. It gives our customers easy access to HVAC information specific to their system.

Inspiration Behind the Innovation

Our business sells commercial dog kennels to other businesses such as veterinarians, dog groomers, dog boarding, and animal rescues. We had to find a way to display the products we sell, as well as the customization of the products that is possible.

Business Impact of the Innovation

Since creating our website on BigCommerce 2 years ago, our business has nearly tripled!

Technical Innovation Implementation

We are able to show multiple product options (with pictures) that help display the ‘standard’ upgrades to the kennels. This helps us with options like color, gate upgrades like tempered glass, and bowl-feeder options.

We also created a number of ‘products’ that actually display previous projects we’ve created. This allows us to display more customizations we’ve done, yet still have the ability to categorize the ‘projects’ to match the product line.

It also helps display ‘featured’ projects on the homepage to get our customers’ attention. The built-in search feature of BigCommerce allows customers to search for keywords that are important to them.

Not only will they find the actual product-line we sell, but they will find ‘projects’ that have matching features to see examples of what is possible!

Inspiration Behind the Innovation

We are a company that invented a product we thought would mainly be used by consumer customers and maybe some bars and restaurants.

What we quickly realized is that there were 50 to 100 commercial vertical markets that we were tapping into.

We now sell into everything from food processing facilities, theme parks, manufacturing facilities, race tracks, food trucks, collegiate and professional stadiums, schools and jails to mines in Chile.

We realized that we were going to need a much more robust ecommerce platform to handle not only our standard consumer ecommerce side, but also give us the ability to talk to the commercial customer.

We switched to BigCommerce and immediately realized the opportunities to grow with the platform, but also the ease of working with the system to custom build our websites. With continued growth in the B2B side, we realized that we now needed something to handle all of the different challenges from CRM to marketing to higher level order management and accounting.

Business Impact of the Innovation

The positive impact of all of the different projects and integrations we have been able to do in BigCommerce has been fantastically improved processes and control, while still allowing for growth and profitability.

Technical Innovation Implementation

We were able to easily integrate a brand new ERP system that connected via API to BigCommerce pretty much flawlessly.

We now had a great ecommerce platform with custom built sites where we are able to speak to our consumer customer and business customers, built in BigCommerce, that works with our ERP system that handles the rest. This is how we overcame our challenge of growth and keeping our systems and controls tight.

BigCommerce not only is the most user friendly platform for somebody that is not a designer, but then the ability of the platform to custom build and integrate is unparalleled.

We were able to build multiple sites to speak to our consumer side of business and also our commercial side. We were very easily able to fully customize the sites with every feature you can think of.

We have not only built fully custom websites, but we have integrated a full ERP system, tracking systems and live chat features that were all an integral part of us building our company and growing.

BigCommerce helped us every step of the way by having a very user friendly platform that even a individual that has no prior web development or ecommerce experience can learn and run with.

Inspiration Behind the Innovation

Our business started as a very successful B2C online store. However, half of our business is now B2B, and we faced an immense challenge in ensuring that BOTH our B2C and B2B customers were equally serviced – and that our B2C offering was not harmed.

We looked far and wide for another business that had adequately solved this challenge, but could not, as we needed the same category and product pages looking and behaving completely differently depending upon customer type.

BigCommerce helped us solve this challenge by having an incredibly flexible platform that allowed easy and high quality customization.

Business Impact of the Innovation

After going live with our new solution, enabling the customer to choose completely different experience depending upon whether they were B2C or B2B, overnight our B2B inquiries and sales doubled – while our B2C sales (thankfully) were unaffected. Perfect!

Technical Innovation Implementation

BigCommerce’s customer groups were a lifesaver.

You can build completely different experiences on your site based on which customer groups your customer is placed in.

Now, we can show products only to some customers, build out custom price lists, hide products from other customers and so on.

We don’t have to manage 2 sites. It is all one site, with different ecommerce experiences built in for B2B and B2C consumers.

Best Customer Experience Innovation

Our best customer experience innovation isn’t about design – though that certainly comes in to play. It is instead about UX and brand cohesiveness across channels including international sites, wholesale partnerships, B2C sites, marketplaces and more.

Centralizing an international sales organization along with 150+ reselling partners, all while increasing owned website conversion.

Theme framework editing and development to showcase extensive product information and comparison charts to help consumers make the right choice for their need.

Real-time product customization to help consumers visualize the product they are creating – and to one up competitors who can’t figure out how to do the same.

Decreasing total cost of ownership $100,000 annually and using apps and tools to provide 360 degree product images, automated product reviews and more.

On and offline customer experience synchronization through point of sale, design frameworks and shipping and delivery options for local customers.

Automated copyright protection based on IP address to save both the brand and the consumer legal headache.

Below are their stories, their inspiration and their results.

Anchor and Crew: Centralizing International Sales Across 150+ Reselling Partners.

Inspiration Behind the Innovation

We needed to be able to improve our online conversions while carefully balancing the requirements of centralized international sales alongside promoting all our 150+ retailers in an equalized manner fair to everyone.

Business Impact of the Innovation

Our brand has grown tremendously since switching to BigCommerce and making the above changes.

Everything that has been put in place online is to help us successfully communicate our brand aesthetics, while at the same being a fantastic space for our fans to discover every inch of the brand in a non-overpowering, non overly-sales-desperate way.

Technical Innovation Implementation

Paramount to improving conversions is ticking off all the reasons customers shop elsewhere. We have worked tirelessly to find a platform that provides a branding-driven environment that does just that.

Aesthetically the website has improved 10x to showcase our Instagram (when hovered over our header’s blue bar as to not be overburdening white space), seeing improved product listings with graphics and a well-refined layout (for example, showcasing a countdown timer for delivery, showing graphics such as ‘as worn’ or all our retailers, giving customers bullet-pointed ‘quick details’ etc.) and having the better laying-out of all assets across-site (for example, having addthis social shares and a delivery countdown in strategically located places).

Our front-end developer team worked exceedingly hard in pushing the website’s layout to the maximum on both desktop and mobile, and there are very few differences between the two in terms of experience, web-speed, interaction and content.

Our website is very SEO optimized and this is reflected with our seamless customer experiences in learning about the brand.

In particular, our Instagram dropdown is quite unique compared to competitors. Not every consumer uses social media and we have attempted to overcome the physical bridge between social networks and our website by portraying equal graphics in a balanced and accessible manner.

Inspiration Behind the Innovation

We sell complicated heating and cooling products and it’s easy to forget that not everyone knows as much about these products as we do.

While we make it easy for customers to contact us, we want to make our web experience as easy, seamless, and informative as possible.

Our products often require accessories, add-ons, or configurations that customers might not normally know about or understand. In our early years, we were constantly handling the same questions over and over again. This presented a barrier to our customer when trying to complete a sale.

Business Impact of the Innovation

Since switching to BigCommerce earlier this year we have seen a steady increase in sales. In September alone, we saw a 50% increase in our total number of orders.

We also saw a 36% increase in revenue month over month and almost 80% year over year.

BigCommerce and the flexible technology it offers is allowing our small team to grow without needing to constantly add new staff or spend thousands on development.

Technical Innovation Implementation

BigCommerce and the flexible Stencil framework have made innovation on our site easy. We have been able to customize Stencil inside of our small company without bringing in outside developers, allowing us to affordably bring new features to our customers.

For example, one of our top selling products is the Amana PTH153G35AXXX. The product page for this item was customized to make shopping as easy as possible.

We provide multiple high-resolution product images as well as a product overview video.

Our AC BTU calculator is right on the page to let customers know if they are looking at the right product.

We were able to customize product pick lists for the common accessories and show a picture of each one once selected.

The customer can click to expand the image and get more details. This makes deciding what it needed much easier.

Our mini split air conditioners are even more complicated. With many configuration options, we want customers to see what all their choices are.

For these we create a custom styled description like what we have on the LG LMU36CHV.

We created a mobile responsive description that presents a picture of each indoor unit and helps the customer understand it.

To top it all off, we have further customized our drop-down options to only allow valid configurations of products. We were able to customize the theme to do the required calculations in the background. If you select something that will not work, the site will not let you complete the purchase and will tell you why. This ensures that the customer will get a system that works! We are the only site in our industry to offer this type of configuration.

Overall, we love what we have been able to do with BigCommerce. We created a user focused site that will increase conversions and help us to grow.

Inspiration Behind the Innovation

An ecommerce business challenge our company has overcome is the ability to view instant and accurate previews of your stationery, notepads, napkins and other personalized gifts on our website.

Customers today want to know exactly what to expect, and providing a manual preview emailed to each customer is simply not possible or fast enough in today’s world.

We first overcame this difficult obstacle by using an iframe and lots of tricky code to manipulate our “Warranty” section on our website. We changed the warranty section to what we called our “Build A Preview” functionality.

Now, customers were able to view a very accurate preview of what they can expect, view different font styles, colors, and motifs for their personalized gifts.

We then just recently went a step further by working with a BigCommerce third-party developer by showing our customers the changes and personalizations LIVE as they select them.

The preview then follows you throughout the checkout process and a custom link is generated and attached to the order at all times. We’ve only been live with it for a week and the customers are raving!

Business Impact of the Innovation

We saw an immediate increase in monthly conversion rates from an average of 1-2% to almost 4-5%!

Customers were feeling more confident than ever being able to see the items they are ordering and knowing what to expect. We have almost tripled our sales from last year and plan on adding this new instant preview feature to all of our products to continue this trend.

With our newest innovation with our live preview function, the customer experience has been made even easier and more enjoyable. In only 1 week of being live, we have heard from multiple customers how much they enjoy this new instant preview feature app and how they cannot wait to receive their order. We never heard things like that before!

A huge thank you to BigCommerce, the BigCommerce Community and BigCommerce Developers as well as tech and customer service support. We couldn’t have done any of this without you!

Technical Innovation Implementation

The BigCommerce platform has been immensely helpful for us in solving this difficult challenge of instantly providing our customers with previews.

With our first solution of editing and manipulating the warranty section, we were able to use a built-in section of our BigCommerce store to show specific product previews for each product. It also looked like it was built right in on the storefront.

Inspiration Behind the Innovation

Speed Addicts was founded in 2003 from a dorm room at the University of California at Santa Barbara. The company started on eBay selling closeout and discontinued motorcycle parts and accessories.

The founder’s story.

As Speed Addicts grew, we started selling current model parts and accessories. Marketplaces offered low barriers to entry, but minimal branding and high costs per transaction.

Over the years we made multiple and costly attempts to create our own webstore. Online automotive parts sales offer unique technical challenges as it pertains to a “shop by machine” user interface.

As a smaller firm we need a solution that was both affordable and capable of selling motorcycle parts.

Until we found BigCommerce the idea of building a webstore with “shop by bike” capabilities was well beyond our budget.

Business Impact of the Innovation

Speed Addicts now has a website with every feature we could have wanted all while staying within our budget.

The site we have today would have cost $50-$100,000 just a few years ago.

Since we completed our build earlier this summer, our webstore sales have increased dramatically. BigCommerce is enabling Speed Addicts to rely less on marketplace sales and instead focus on increasing our branding footprint and successfully competing with much larger ecommerce sellers.

Technical Innovation Implementation

BigCommerce, along with the third party software in the app store, allowed Speed Addicts and Intuit Solutions to build a highly customized webstore with “shop by bike” capabilities that was well within the budget of a small firm like ours.

In addition to the “Part Finder” app, Speed Addicts also uses two other app store products “InStockNotify” and “xSellco”. Both of these apps offer what use to be expensive integrations at a fraction of the price.

Another integration Speed Addicts uses on BigCommerce is “Imajize.” Imajize is the best 360 image viewer on the market today.

Inspiration Behind the Innovation

With 75 retail locations across the country, our challenge is to integrate our brick & mortar presence and experience with our digital channel(s) to strengthen our brand and meet the expectations of today’s consumers.

First, the brand experience of how we sell online had to emulate the rich experience that our customers have in stores. We wanted to create a solution that more closely integrates how we merchandise our product in stores and apply it the online space in order to streamline the omni-channel shopping experience.

Even more challenging, as a result of the unique nature of our product, we had to build a solution that allowed us to merchandise our primary product offering into “collections” of coordinating and correlating items. Within each collection, we had to enable our customers to choose different optional a la carte items; and for every item, our customers are required to identify specific required attributes, such as size, color, and quantity.

To tie the online shopping experience with our stores, we had to enable our customers to search for product availability in their nearest stores. This required that we set up near-time updates of over 15,000 SKUs across 75 store locations.

Now, every 15 minutes, inventory is updated for all 75 of our stores right across the country and featured in every single product page on the site.

And finally, to complete the store/digital integration, we needed to provide customers with the option to pick up at a store location of their choosing. The Ship To Store program had to be trackable at every point in the fulfilment process, and a system to communicate the order status to the customer, the fulfillment center, customer service, and the store, was required to facilitate the entire process.

Business Impact of the Innovation

The new site launched on September 10, 2018. So far, we are seeing some excellent metrics related to customer engagement with the site; specifically, a 20% increase in page views and time spent on the site. We have also seen a good lift in overall company sales since the site launched.

In addition, the website is accessible to all in-store staff to support their sales via kiosk orders.

So far, since we launched the site, there has been a 25% increase in number of kiosk transactions made by stores.

Technical Innovation Implementation

Because of BigCommerce’s open architecture, we were able to work with our technical solutions team to build special architectures, both on the front and back ends, to accommodate our special merchandising requirements, our near-live inventory integration with stores, and a ship-to-store option with tracking capabilities.

Specifically, the checkout API endpoints really became a game changer for us and we are able to do so much more that we first thought.

Along with the open architecture, the ability to leverage already existing features that would normally be additional costs on other platforms came out of the box, making the cost and the effort a lot lower on BigCommerce than other platforms would have been.

Utilizing key partners in the ecosystem allowed us to not just deliver on what we wanted to accomplish, but are allowing us to look at a Phase 2 that is limitless.

Inspiration Behind the Innovation

One of the biggest challenges with selling music, is that each song is only allowed to be sold where its copyright allows.

Each of our 14,000+ songs fit into one of 17 territory restriction groups.

We needed a solution to allow customers to purchase music only where it was allowed by a song’s individual copyright.

We also had many related music products based on a song title. We needed a way to display the parent title, and all related items such as the print and digital sheet music, CD and downloadable learning tracks.

Business Impact of the Innovation

For a small non-profit, these enhancements make us good stewards of our member dollars and help serve up content for sale that they love and can shop for more easily. In just a few days, we have seen music sales increase.

Technical Innovation Implementation

Working with a developer, we were able to use the custom fields to create unique country code groups. This territory was matched with the customer’s IP address. If they were in a territory/country where that sheet music wasn’t allowed to be sold, the Add to Cart button would not display.

This “out of the gate” solution allowed us to display all music, display territories, but also keeps us compliant with international copyright laws.

We also placed all related music in one easy-to-access grip with a custom template and the related products in a parent/child relationship. This will increase sales and keep customers on one page without navigating away.
